Myong NFMR Project

Myong NFMR Project is a Native Forest from Managed Regrowth project located approximately 88km north-northwest of St George in the Maranoa region of Queensland. It was registered on March 15, 2024, and covers an area of 4,488.90 hectares.

Native Forest from Managed Regrowth (NFMR) projects involve establishing permanent native forests through assisted regeneration from in-situ seed sources, such as rootstock and lignotubers, rather than active tree planting. Standard requirements for this methodology include the absolute cessation of mechanical or chemical destruction, or suppression, of native regrowth. It also requires careful management of the timing and extent of grazing to ensure livestock do not suppress the emerging forest.

The surrounding Maranoa region is dominated by extensive cattle and sheep grazing operations set across flat plains. The area is classified as semi-arid, typically experiencing an average annual rainfall of 500mm to 600mm. The local environment features a mix of soil types ranging from heavy cracking clays (black soils) to lighter red earths, which natively support vegetation like Poplar Box and Mulga.

This project was established by Pastoral Partners Australia on land that had been subject to at least one comprehensive clearing for pastoral use. Pastoral Partners is an agricultural investment company that integrates high-productivity livestock farming alongside large-scale carbon sequestration. The proponent uses ACCU revenue to drought-proof their properties and reinvest heavily in infrastructure like fencing and water points, actively proving that carbon and agriculture can work together rather than competing for land. Additionally, on March 31, 2024, the project was officially divided under section 77A of the Carbon Credits (Carbon Farming Initiative) Act 2011.
